Community Focus
The Otto Bremer Foundation owns a majority share of Bremer Bank, and a portion of the bank's profits comes to the
Foundation as dividends, enabling the Foundation to invest back in the communities that are homes and neighbors
to Bremer banks in the form of grants and program-related investments. In determining geographic eligibility for
a grant, Foundation trustees and staff consider a number of factors, including physical proximity to
Bremer Bank communities and how the work of a specific program or organization will positively affect residents of those communities
